(Courtesy State Rep. Giannino’s Offi ce) School Committee updated on Early Childhood Ed at McKinley School Advocate Staff Report M elissa Lomas, director of the school district’s early childhood education, presented an overview of the program and the upcoming changes with the development of the new early childhood education center at the McKinley School to the School Committee this week. Lomas began with the current program, which involves 10 classrooms in three schools and accommodates 180 children. Those classrooms are both small group classes of nine students and integrated classrooms of 15 students that blend general education students with students on individual education plans. Lomas repeatedly stressed the connection between the program and the families whose children attend. “Our program is built on the relationship we develop with families,†she said. “We look for deep home and school connections.†Lomas described a list of opportunities parents have to connect with teachers and classes. She also highlighted parent survey results that revealed that a vast majority of parents feel informed, comfortable with teachers and satisfi ed with the safety of the program. “I’m really proud of the work we do to build trusting relationships with families,†she said. She praised the district’s early education teachers, who she said give the city’s three and four year olds the academic and social/emotional skills they need to succeed in kindergarten and beyond. Although it will not open for another couple years, the early education center at McKinley will bring changes for the city’s youngest students. Lomas described how the new center will create eight more early education classrooms at McKinley, a space which will be shared with the city’s new regional 911 call center that will serve Revere, Winthrop and Chelsea. There will also be meeting spaces, offi ces, indoor and outdoor spaces and a large gathering area. Lomas said no decisions have been made yet on the existing early education classrooms at Beachmont and other schools. “There’s been no final decision, but with 18 classrooms we will have a lot of opportunity and a lot of fl exibility,†she said. School Committee member John Kingston credited the mayor for bringing Chelsea onboard the new 911 call center, which opened the door to a $15 million state grant to renovate the retired school building. Lomas also announced that the district is now accepting applications for the 25/26 school year and the tuition structure is being reviewed. For paying families, tuition is currently $10 per day and children are accepted on a fi rst come, fi rst served basis. ׉ Ú7cassandra://z7kFJNswrElbmIGgXDl8LCbH760wicvI5dcXYWr7lqQÍ7UÍ`ÌÔÍ×gÜLÑŽ—1.ßc×gÜLÑŽ—1.ßbÍ ªÍrבC’טšÍUÍru׉œ“׉ Ú7cassandra://An3piKHiRvlnf8w64o9boT0xwPkoO8zshib8ha2p0EwθÝÍ`Í'Íp׉ Ú7cassandra://8BWSL7gIhEg6-bR9rFhez-5OPUEwSTP5Vacn6lV4MHcÍËÍ`ÍÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://B2rYZsets3cdlsqDlKreusUKn0qn76xs4xsn7TzalAwÍ>ZÍ`ÌÔÍ×gÜLÑŽ—1.߀טšÍUÍUÍru׉œ“׉ Ú7cassandra://S0p4hZ3xz-UXde-FINxbOxt81brH3-FH__46e2-4qMIÎÍ`Í'Íp׉ Ú7cassandra://56XOAZPJ5T94HgmDX32o-SQQ-y_SBezzJ29pRdjXLpUͳaÍ`ÍÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://aif-s8BFxhETSeuLvO7wUkqTm4WXMtUcP9BjcMTX7igÍ7Í`ÌÔÍ×gÜLÒŽ—1.ß’× ×gÜLÒŽ—1.߉ÍÓÍÍZ9×H»http://WWW.SABATINO-INS.COM× × Ј× ×gÜLÒŽ—1.߈ÍæÍŠÍ9×HÚ mailto:lsimeonejr@simeonelaw.net× × Ј׉EÚ Page 2 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 2025 BEER + BITES craft brew tasting fundraiser returns to Memorial Hall on April 5 Mid-grade Regular $3.47 2.73 35 37 Over 47 Years of Excellence! 1947 - 2025 Full Service ULS $2.95 Order online at angelosoil.com Tickets available for evening tasting session!

B OSTON — Thirty-one municipal and regional projects in the Greater Boston region will soon be able to leverage more than $440,000 to advance regional priorities in housing production, climate resilience, economic development, and culture thanks to the latest round of technical assistance funding from the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC). MAPC, one of 13 regional planning agencies (RPAs) in the state, off ers technical assistance grants each year that help advance the goals identifi ed in Greater Boston’s regional land use and policy plan, MetroCommon2050. All 101 cities and towns in the MAPC region are encouraged each year to apply for the Technical Assistance Program (TAP), which helps municipalities take on critical work that they do not have the capacity to address on their own. Many Massachusetts communities have limited professional planning capacity to help shape their future economic development, transportation, housing, green spaces, and municipal facilities. RPAs help with these essential tasks — everything from updating stormwater guidelines and managing data to preparing economic development plans. The TAP and most of RPAs’ work is primarily funded through District Local Technical Assistance (DLTA) — dollars the Legislature and Governor appropriate annually and are distributed to all RPAs, including MAPC. “A larger portion of this year’s TAP grants support projects that cross municipal lines. We are very glad to see that the critical DLTA funding from Beacon Hill is being used to take action on long-term regional goals and bring communities together across municipal lines,†said MAPC Executive Director Marc Draisen.

This initiative is aligned with National Problem Gambling Screening Day on March 11 and the National Council on Problem Gambling’s Problem Gambling Awareness Month. According to the Social and Economic Impacts of Gambling in Massachusetts study summarized in 2024, gambling in the Commonwealth has increased as well as the intensity of monthly gamblers. Recently, GameSense staff conducted screenings at Encore Boston Harbor, MGM Springfield and Plainridge Park Casino, engaging in over 850 conversations. This proactive approach off ers immediate information, resources and support for those struggling with potential gambling issues. During the screening process, 24 individuals were identified as demonstrating signs of gambling disorder. “Initial screenings are essential in serving the approximately 80,000 individuals in the Commonwealth struggling with gambling issues,†said MGC Director of Research and Gaming Mark Vander Linden. “By off ering screenings near the gaming fl oor and online through Live Chat, we can provide assistance earlier in the process, which is known to lead to better outcomes overall.†These eff orts are part of a broader, ongoing mission to adapt services and support to meet the Commonwealth’s evolving gambling environment.

During the fi rst 50 days of 2025, Red Cross volunteers responded to more big disasters in the U.S. than days — And that’s on top of everyday crises like home fi res that have upended lives here in Massachusetts. Meanwhile, more Red Cross blood donations have gone uncollected so far this year due to weather than throughout all of 2024. During the fi rst 50 days of 2025, Red Cross volunteers responded to more big disasters in the U.S. than calendar days. Since January, 27 Red Cross volunteers from Massachusetts have deployed to help communities recovering from disasters like the devastating Los Angeles wildfires and severe flooding in Kentucky. And that’s on top of everyday crises like home fi res that have upended lives here in the Bay State. Our local disaster action teams have responded to 140 home fi res, assisting more than 847 people in Massachusetts during January and February. Meanwhile, more Red Cross blood donations have gone uncollected so far this year due to weather than throughout all of 2024. “This year’s disasters have set a whirlwind pace, displacing thousands of people from their homes across the country and disrupting the nation’s blood supply for patients,†said Kelly Isenor, director of communications for the American Red Cross of Massachusetts. “As we enter spring disaster season, families are relying on us to come together as a community and support them when help can’t wait during future crises. Join us today by making a fi nancial donation or giving blood or platelets.†Visit redcross.org today to make a fi nancial donation or schedule an appointment to give blood or platelets in March: • MAKE A FINANCIAL DONATION: Donations will be part of Red Cross Giving Day, which aims to rally 30,000 individuals to help people affected by disasters big and small. A gift of any size makes a diff erence. For example, a donation of $3 can provide a comfort kit with supplies like a toothbrush, comb and shampoo, and a gift of $11 can provide a nutritious meal, snack and drink. For those who are able, any donor who gives $140 or more in March will receive a choice of a Red Cross monopack or a pair of socks as a thank-you for supporting our mission. Donors can make their gift and claim their thank-you by visiting redcross.org any time during March. • GIVE BLOOD OR PLATELETS: To help overcome the signifi cant weather impact on blood donations, the Red Cross also urges the public to give lifesaving blood or platelets by making an appointment today at RedCrossBlood.org, on the Red Cross Blood Donor App or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS. People of all blood types are needed now to help avoid further strain to the blood supply. The Red Cross is expanding its health offerings by performing free A1C testing (commonly used to screen for prediabetes and diabetes) on successful blood, platelet and plasma donations in March. Additionally, all who come to give blood, platelets or plasma March 1-31 will receive a $10 Amazon.com Gift Card by email. See RedCrossBlood.org/March for details on both off ers. BBB Scam Alert: Scammers are impersonating businesses, emailing consumers with fake subscription renewal notices E mail continues to be a popular avenue for scammers who want to steal consumers’ personal and fi nancial information. To trick consumers into clicking links and providing personal information, scammers are posing as legitimate businesses and emailing consumers. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) warns consumers to be extra vigilant when receiving urgent emails from supposed businesses asking for payment information. How the scam works: You receive an urgent email from a business you have a membership or an account with that states your subscription or membership has expired. The email asks you to click a link to provide your payment information. The email might even off er a special deal or discount for updating your payment information now. The email might look legitimate and include the business’s logo, and you might have even received the email around the time your subscription has expired or will be expiring. So, you click the link and provide your credit card information, only to fi nd out that the email and the website were fake. Your card might be charged, and a scammer now has your personal and fi nancial information. Scammers might also email you stating that your subscription to a certain business has or will be auto-renewing for a certain dollar amount, causing confusion and worry. They might provide a customer service phone number to call, which is actually fake. BBB Scam Tracker has received several recent reports about scammers impersonating different businesses through email. One consumer shared, “Received an email on 1/3/2024 that ‘my Sirius XM account has expired!’ This email came in one day after my normal Sirius XM renewal date. The email wanted me to go to a website and ‘insert’ my credit card info. … Before proceeding, I logged into my actual Sirius XM account and verified it had automatically renewed as normal. What threw me off at fi rst was that the scammer somehow knew my renewal date. I did not lose any money.†How to avoid impostor email phishing scams • Take a second look at the email. There are several red fl ags that identify phishing emails. Look at the sender’s email address — if it’s a long string of numbers and letters that don’t make sense, or if the email address just doesn’t look right, it’s likely an impostor. Scare tactics and urgent requests are also quite common for phishing emails, as are spelling errors and poorly written emails. Read tips from BBB (bbb.org) on how to recognize a phony email for more red fl ags. • Go to the business to confi rm the email. If you receive an email stating your subscription has expired or payment is needed, fi rst verify the information on your own. Consider calling the business’s real phone number directly (don’t use any phone numbers that are included in the questionable email you received) and verify your account details with them. • Keep track of your subscriptions and any auto-renewing payments. Keep track of any subscription or membership renewal dates and the anticipated charges on a calendar so you know when to expect them. That way, you can have a better idea of determining when a subscription renewal email is fake or not. • Think twice before providing payment for something you didn’t initiate. Don’t provide your payment information to anyone if you did not initiate the purchase. If you’re being asked to pay with your bank account number, prepaid credit cards, digital wallet apps or wiring money, this is a red fl ag. • Check with BBB Scam Tracker. If you’re questioning an email you received from a business, look up the details on BBB Scam Tracker and verify if anyone else has received the same type of email. This can help you verify whether or not the email is fake. • Once you verify the email is fake, report it as spam and delete it. Your email provider might provide an option for you to mark an email as spam. If you’ve verifi ed that the email is a scam, report it and delete it right away. Learn more about impersonation scams, and read about how to avoid impostor scams. BBB has several tips on how to spot scams, like how to identify a fake website, a scam text message or a phony email. If you receive a fake email from a scammer pretending to be a business, report it to https:// www.bbb.org/scamtracker to warn others. ׉ Ú7cassandra://aKByDux2Ozv3mY03I_QK3QJrGSwh43ZToCgRh6nNPOEÍ1òÍ`ÌÔÍ×gÜLÑŽ—1.ßr׉EÚ´THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 2025 Page 17 RevereTV Spotlight I n a new exciting episode of “Fabulous Foods,†Victoria Fabbo is joined by special guest Esteban Cruz, the founder of Clara’s Gourmet Sofrito.

MBTA Announces Start Dates for 2025 Ferry Season, Increased Winthrop and Quincy Ferry Service This Season U pcoming Winthrop and Quincy Ferry upgrades this season include doubling the number of weekday trips, direct Winthropto-Boston and Quincy-to-Boston service on weekdays, and weekday trip time enhancements by about 30 minutes. BOSTON — The MBTA this week announced start dates, trip information, and improvements for the Winthrop/Quincy Ferry for the upcoming season along with start dates for all seasonal routes. Upgrades coming to the Winthrop and Quincy Ferry include doubling the number of weekday trips, direct Winthrop-to-Boston and Quincy-to-Boston service on weekdays, and weekday trip time enhancements by about 30 minutes. The full schedules for all ferry routes are anticipated to be released next month and will be available at mbta.com/Ferry. Winthrop and Quincy Ferry Information • Weekday Service: Winthrop and Quincy Ferry weekday service will begin on Monday, April 28, 2025. To better serve ferry passengers, weekday trips will be divided into two separate routes: the Winthrop Ferry operating directly between Winthrop and Boston and the Quincy Ferry operating directly between Quincy and Boston. With two separate ferry routes serving Winthrop and Quincy, the MBTA is more than doubling trips to these destinations on weekdays.

There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week. LIMIT NUMBERS OF BILLS AT HEARINGS (S 15) Senate 5-33, rejected an amendment that would reduce from 50 to 30 the maximum number of bills that can be considered at a hearing on bills by a committee. “Reducing the maximum number of bills heard in a joint committee hearing from 50 to 30 allows for more focused and meaningful discussion,†said Sen. Kelly Dooner (R-Taunton). “With fewer bills being considered, legislators and more importantly, the public have more time to engage with the issues at hand and ensure that everyone, especially those who travel far to testify, receives a fair opportunity to participate and be heard.†“The amendment proff ered a solution looking for a problem,†said Sen. Becca Rausch (D-Needham). “As Senate Chair of the Joint Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, I presided over a hearing on plastics and waste management last session that considered a number of closely related bills which would have been split up under the proposed amendment. The current ceiling [50] for bills to be heard at a committee hearing is reasonable, both substantively and procedurally and promotes legislative effi ciency.†(A “Yes†vote is for the amendment decreasing the number of bills from 50 to 30. A “No†vote is against the decrease.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Didn’t Vote ALLOW MINORITY REPORT ON CONFERENCE COMMITTEE BILLS (S 15) Senate 6-32, rejected an amendment allowing the minority members who voted against a conference committee version of a bill to issue a report on why they voted against it. A conference committee is a committee that is appointed by the Senate president and House speaker when the House and Senate approve diff erent versions of a bill. The committee’s job is to craft a compromise version. “It is important that the perspective from both sides of the debate within our conference committees is represented for the public to consume,†said Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton). “The people of Massachusetts do not benefi t from one-party rule.†Amendment opponents did not off er any arguments against the amendment. Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem), the chair of the Senate Committee on Rules, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking her to comment on why she voted against the bill. (A “Yes†vote is for the amendment allowing a minority to issue a report. A “No†vote is against allowing a minority to issue a report.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Didn’t Vote PROHIBIT LATE VOTES ON CONFERENCE COMMITTEE REPORTS (S 15) Senate 6-32, rejected an amendment that would prohibit any conference committee bills from being considered less than 72 hours before the end of a formal legislative session. The amendment would allow the Legislature to consider a conference committee bill at any time only if the House and Senate vote unanimously to allow consideration. The amendment would replace a rule that allows the Legislature to consider conference committee reports at any time during the legislative session. “This amendment … closes a loophole that allows leadership to push through lastminute conference committee reports and then reconvene after the formal sessions to vote on them,†said Sen. Kelly Dooner (R-Taunton). “By prohibiting these reports from being fi led within 72 hours of the end of formal sessions, this change ensures major legislation is properly reviewed and prevents rushed, last-minute decision-making.†Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem) said the amendment would tie the hands of the House and Senate by establishing an arbitrary deadline that would prevent them from voting on important bills. She said that would result in the bills essentially dying from lack of action. (A “Yes†vote is for the amendment prohibiting any conference committee reports from being considered less than 72 hours before the end of formal legislative sessions. A “No†vote is against the amendment.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Didn’t Vote ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL $6.4 MILLION TO CLIMATECH COMPANIES — The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) announced $6.4 million in funding for 25 clean energy and climatetech companies and researchers. The investment is designed to accelerate innovation and business growth in 13 cities and towns across Massachusetts. “These companies have made Massachusetts a leader in climate technologies,†said Energy and Environmental Aff airs Secretary Rebecca Tepper. “As the rest of the world races for the competitive edge in climatetech, Massachusetts is leading the way with smart investments in growing businesses. With these investments, big ideas become jobs and economic growth for our state.†“The climatetech industry is an economic development opportunity for every city and town in Massachusetts,†said Emily Reichert, CEO of MassCEC. “These MassCEC emerging climatetech grants empower innovative ideas and transformative solutions that will shape the future of the state’s economy. By supporting entrepreneurs and innovators, we’re accelerating the deployment of technologies that will lower energy costs and create jobs right here in Massachusetts.†$825,000 TO IMPROVE WATER QUAILTY — The Healey Administration announced $825,000 in water quality grants to several Cape Cod towns — Barnstable, Brewster, Chatham, Dennis, Falmouth, Mashpee, Wellfleet and Yarmouth. The grants are aimed at reducing nitrogen pollution, which mostly comes from wastewater. Nitrogen can cause serious problems in the water, such as harmful algae blooms that can aff ect both the environment and public health. “This funding represents a critical step in helping Cape Cod communities address the longstanding challenges of nitrogen pollution,†said MassDEP Commissioner Bonnie Heiple. “By supporting local initiatives, we are protecting our treasured coastal ecosystems and ensuring that future generations can enjoy clean and healthy waterways. The health of Cape Cod’s waters is directly tied to the well-being of its residents, its economy and its unique environmental heritage.†“Protecting our fragile natural environment has always been one of my top priorities,†said Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro). “We’ve worked hard to bring sustained funding to subsidize the astronomical costs of nitrogen-pollution-reduction programs across Cape Cod, including the establish׉ Ú7cassandra://nbSsnQLNo1OEHIVZDTsESIWT0i_i-_rSidmHAOYeV_gÍ/:Í`ÌÔÍ×gÜLÑŽ—1.ßt׉EÚ!Œment of the Cape Cod and Islands Water Protection Fund in 2018. I am thrilled that MassDEP is awarding grants to these six Cape Cod towns. If we keep up with these efforts, we can restore our waterways and relegate excessive nitrogen pollution to the history books.†$7.2 MILLION FOR LOCAL CLEAN ENERGY PROJECTS — Gov. Healey announced $7.2 million in grants to cities and towns across Massachusetts to fund clean energy projects. “We are happy to help our cities and towns move forward with initiatives that create healthier communities and boost local economies,†said Gov. Healey. “These projects will ultimately save people, businesses and municipalities money and will help Massachusetts achieve energy independence.†“These projects refl ect the hard work and dedication of our local offi cials to make Massachusetts a healthier, more affordable place for families and businesses,†said Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll. “We are committed to partnering with our local leaders to support eff orts that save cities and towns money and strengthen communities.†STRENGTHEN HUMAN TRAFFICKING TRAINING IN MASSACHUSETTS HOTELS — Massachusetts state legislators, hospitality industry leaders and survivor advocates gathered at the Statehouse to highlight the urgent need to implement human traffi cking recognition training across the hotel industry in the Bay State. They urged approval of legislation that would mandate human traffi cking training for all hotel employees in the Bay State, from the front desk to housekeeping and food service, in order to equip them to recognize and respond to traffi cking situations. “Prevention training is already a standard practice at many hotels in Massachusetts, and we remain committed to partnering with law enforcement and survivor advocacy organizations to strengthen these eff orts,†said Kevin Carey, President and CEO of the American Hotel and Lodging Association. “Human traffi cking remains a vicious crime and modernday version of slavery that exists in almost every community across the commonwealth and the United States,†said Sen. Mark Montigny (D-New Bedford), the lead author of the fi rst anti-human traffi cking law approved in Massachusetts and the sponsor of this new legislation (S 1729) which would mandate human trafficking training for all hotel employees. “This is not simply some awful problem occurring in some far away land. Many victims are vulnerable women or children from our own communities, and hotels and motels are often exploited by traffi ckers to perpetuate this heinous crime. We must break through the inertia on Beacon Hill and mandate training for hospitality workers who can play a lifesaving role in combatting traffi cking.†DON’T MISS THIS SPECIAL EVENT — Join Massachusetts energy leaders in government, industry and advocacy at the MCLE in Boston on March 26 for an important discussion about the state’s energy policy and its goals for a net-zero future, hosted by the State House News Service. With the return of a new Trump administration and policies hindering wind power development, the state’s plan to expand its off shore wind portfolio faces uncertainty. While solar power offers potential, its scalability is limited by grid capacity issues and requires substantial investment. Other promising technologies like fusion and lowcarbon hydrogen have yet to be implemented in the commonwealth.

Better education is closest to the kids, with parents, with local superintendents, with local school boards.†---U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon on the Trump Administration’s announcement of a cut to nearly half of the Department of Education’s 4,000-person workforce. THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 2025 “By attempting to dismantle the Department of Education which, among many things, funds educational programs that benefi t low-income children and students with disabilities and enforces laws that prohibit discrimination in education, the Trump Administration is making it crystal clear that it does not prioritize our students, teachers or families.†Page 19 ---Attorney General Andrea Campbell and 20 other attorneys general on their lawsuit against U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, the U.S. Department of Education and President Trump over their attempt to dismantle the Department of Education. “Right now, our democracy is being attacked from every angle. Our commonsense, pro-democracy reforms put the most essential element of our democracy — the people — front and center. Together, we’ll continue advocating for critical legislation that strengthens our voting rights, makes it easier for people to participate in their government and increases transparency to hold those in power accountable.†BEACON | SEE Page 20 When to Worry About Your Memory Dear Savvy Senior, At age 70, I’ve become more and more forgetful lately and am concerned it may be an early sign of dementia. Are there any memory screening tools or services that you can recommend to help me gage my problem, without going to a neurologist? Forgetful Frank Dear Frank, Many older adults, like yourself, worry about memory lapses as they get older fearing it may be the fi rst signs of Alzheimer’s disease or some other type of dementia. To get some insight on the seriousness of your problem, here are some tips and resources you can turn to. Warning Signs As we grow older, some memory diffi culties — such as forgetting names or misplacing items from time to time — are associated with normal aging. But the symptoms of dementia are much more than simple memory lapses. While symptoms can vary greatly, people with dementia may have problems with short-term memory, keeping track of a purse or wallet, paying bills, planning and preparing meals, remembering appointments or traveling out of the neighborhood. To help you recognize the diff erence between typical age-related memory loss and a more serious problem, the Alzheimer’s Association provides a list of 10 warning signs that you can assess at 10signs.org. They also provide information including the signs and symptoms on other conditions that can cause dementia like vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, chronic traumatic encephalopathy and others — see ALZ.org/dementia. Memory Screening A great resource and fi rst step to help you get a handle on your memory problem is the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, which offers a National Memory Screening Program. This is a free, confi dential, faceto-face memory screening done virtually in real-time that takes about 10 to 15 minutes to complete and consists of questions and/or tasks to evaluate your memory status. Once the screening is complete, the screener will review the results with you. Available to everyone, these memory screenings are done daily Monday through Friday, and are given by doctors, nurse practitioners, psychologists, social workers or other healthcare professionals across the country. A smart phone, computer, tablet or any other device with a webcam and Internet capability is all that’s needed. Appointments can be requested online at ALZFDN.org/memory-screening or by calling 866-232-8484. It’s also important to know that this screening is not a diagnosis of any particular condition but can indicate whether you should see your doctor for more extensive assessment. See Your Doctor If you fi nd that you need further evaluation, make an appointment with your primary care doctor for a cognitive checkup and medical examination. Depending on what’s found, you may be referred to a geriatrician or neurologist who specializes in diagnosing and treating memory loss or Alzheimer’s disease. Keep in mind that even if you are experiencing some memory problems, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have dementia. Many memory problems are brought on by other factors like stress, depression, thyroid disease, side eff ects of medications, sleep disorders, vitamin defi ciencies and other medical conditions. And by treating these conditions he can reduce or eliminate the problem. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of March 1014, the House met for a total of 12 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 36 minutes. Mon.
